Bryce Harper walked four times and scored four runs without taking a swing last night, becoming just the fourth player in the last hundred years to score four runs with zero at bats. "He's taken the steps necessary to make himself the player he wants to be," Matt Williams said.
Bryce Harper has walked so often this season that his post-free pass routine has become almost as familiar as his glove readjusting, plate-tapping pre-pitch routine. Harper drops his bat between his feet after ball four, undoes the shin guard on his right, front leg, drops it in the batter's box and takes his base.
